I really liked this book more than I remembered liking it years ago it most like because I learned the

Spoiler

the surprise incest was fake

I really liked how the story flowed and how it was told it has been a while since I have read a book like it. I really liked the characters especially Clary and Jace I liked how they fit together I really hope their relationship gets better further in the series. I also liked the other characters especially the Lightwoods I also liked Luke especially towards the end also even if he was in the story briefly Magnus was such an interesting character. I really liked the plot it started out with a girl who has seen something strange it moves to her mother being taken and her attacked she finds out many things along the way about herself and others I am really looking forward to finding out more.
